SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this product.
Do not immerse base in water or other liquid.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. AN EXTENSION CORD MAY BE
USED WITH CARE; HOWEVER, THE MARKED ELECTRICAL RATING SHOULD BE AT LEAST AS GREAT AS THE ELECTRICAL RATING OF THE VERSAWARETM
SLOW COOKER. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTE: During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses. The Extreme Temperature Cookware (ETCTM) used in this product is lead and cadmium safe.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
Congratulations on your purchase of the newest innovation in cooking technology; the VersaWareTM slow cooker featuring ETCTM (Extreme Temperature Cookware).
ETCTM is a special stoneware formulation that can withstand extreme temperature changes, giving you the most versatile and convenient cooking appliance.
ETCTM stoneware is safe to use in conventional ovens, in the microwave, on all stovetops* and in the refrigerator and freezer. (Be sure to read Important Safeguards to ensure proper use.)
Unlike most ceramic and glass stoneware, you can take the VersaWareTM ETCTM stoneware directly from your stovetop or oven to your refrigerator or freezer and vice versa. This versatility allows you to prepare foods, slow cook, store leftovers and reheat them all using the same stoneware dish, saving cleaning time.
The elegant design and detachable cord also allows you to serve from your VersaWareTM slow cooker. From hot to cold, or cold to hot, your VersaWareTM slow cooker will serve you well.
Have fun exploring all the different ways you can use your new versatile slow cooker. We've included an exclusive VersaWareTM cookbook to help you get started.
HOW TO USE YOUR VERSAWARETM SLOW COOKER
1.There are three temperature settings. LOW is recommended for slow ”all-day”. 1 hour on HIGH equals about 2 to 21⁄2 hours on LOW. WARM is recommended for keeping already cooked food at the perfect serving temperature until you are ready to eat. DO NOT cook on this setting.
2.Before each use (whether in Heating Base Unit, on stovetop, in oven or in microwave), coat the inside of the
